What is the ruling on marrying a girl with the intention of showing kindness to her and seeking reward [from Allah] due to her poverty, illness, or orphanhood, and what is the reward for such an act with Allah?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Marriage is one of the best acts of drawing closer to Allah, as it is a means of chastity, achieving reward through permissible enjoyment, seeking progeny, and increasing the Muslim nation. Furthermore, a Muslim earns reward by spending on his wife, and the reward is increased by showing kindness to the poor or orphaned.
